Hi, this seems to be the third time you have posted this!
I think I understand it now. ;-)
You have a Linux server on which is running an Apache webserver
you have a workstation that is running Windows 7 and some version of
microsoft office
You somehow want to connect the two together with this thing called
'plone' (I have never heard of this myself) and have been advised to use
samba on the server.
Is all the above correct? , if so, just how much of a connection do you
need between the workstation and server and what Linux OS is running on
the server.
